The Piercing Truth

This is right from the dictionary and seems to describe Albuquerque, Berry and Schultz. Fascism (f ash ,izem) noun An authoritarian right wing system of government and/or social organization. (in general use) extreme right wing, authoritarian, chauvinistic and/or intolerant views or practices. Fascism tends to include a belief in the supremacy of one group over another, national, ethnic, especially social strata or monetarily; a contempt for democracy, an insistence on obedience to a powerful leader, and a strong demagogic approach.

Eye Told You: Back in the Saddle

There's a lot going on during the final days of the Chavez Administration as all of Marty's Minions are working to save their as, uh... career posteriors. Outgoing CAO, Ed Adams is furiously squirreling away favored unclassified employees in classified positions.

Back in October we told you that The 5th Floor planned to move Commander Joe Hudson and Lieutenant Rob Smith back to the SID playpen (read it here). When the little scheme was revealed, The 5th Floor brain trust decided that it was a good idea to wait (read it here).

Well... the wait is over and Hudson and Smith are back in the saddle over at SID. Meanwhile, the entire reserve program is still on hiatus.

Look, the reserve program was never the problem. Reserve officers work under the direct supervision of paid, sworn, and certified APD officers. State law clearly indicates that they cannot be paid. If a reserve officer is paid, they're no longer a reserve officer and by law they must be state certified. When David Young started posing as a "John" and started playing with the equipment of suspects, he was acting as a police officer not as a civilian technician.

Hudson and Smith should have known that just as they should know exactly how far any officer can go in furtherance of their duties. One way or the other, Hudson and Smith screwed up. The 5th Floor is busy doing what it always does... acting like it never happened.

Waht's new? Send this administration packing. The department deserves a fresh and clean start.

This should not come as a big surprise to anyone who has been around for a while. We have all seen the shitty Internal Affairs Investigations. The 5th floor will always give the thumbs up or down depending on who is being investigated. God for bid it be someone of rank. The problem with APD is the lack of real leadership, HONESTY and INTEGRITY. Every person screws up at some point in their carrier. All I ask is that the punishment be fair and just for everyone. Remember leadership by example not do as I say not as I do.

Why won't you write about oil and national defense? I do not think your readers want to continue to fund terrorists.

MR BERRY IF YOU READ THIS WEB SITE THE FIRST ISSUE YOUR TRANSITION TEAM SHOULD BE LOOKING AT SID. HUDSON AND SMITH HAVE TO BE TRANSFERRED AND ROP HAS TO GET BACK ON TRACK OF DEALING WITH REPEAT OFFENDERS. THOSE FELONS ARENT COMMING TO KNOCK ON YOUR OFFICE DOOR AND SAY "FOLLOW ME" YOU HAVE TO DO A LITTLE BIT OF WORK. OUR ENTIRE SID UNIT HAS FALLEN ON HARD TIMES AND IT STARTED WHEN HUDSON CAME OVER. SMITH ACTS LIKE HE IS THE COMMANDER TAKES OVER MEETINGS AND TALKS OVER HUDSON AND HUDSON LETS HIM. HUDSON SHOULDNT EVEN BE A COP MUCH LESS A COMMANDER.

Oh, there's a lot more that will be revealed as 'Marty's Minions' exit the door. Ed Adams and the rest of these cretins will be found out.
Mayor Berry will be shocked to learn what is about to un ravel.

If this was an actual investigation then why didn't IA handle it? Or was it a criminal investigation? Just what kind of half-baked investigation was this? If there was no criminal charges, then IA should've investigated or the IRO. Has the IRO weighed in on this yet? Shouldn't they? This is stinky.

As soon as Darren anoints Ray, smith will be promoted just like Prudencio was for covering up the whole mess as a LIEutenant. Just another example of the way RAY BOY operates with impunity. Whats funny is how the captains, ohh I mean commanders are kissing up to RAY BOY. The day after the election they were talking shit about him, now that Darren wants to keep RAY BOY the capts are kissing some butt. When is the last time you saw a capt at work before 1000 hrs and stay after 1500 hrs? Marty, I mean Berry is just 4 more years of the same!!!

Darren is running around acting like he was elected mayor....watch out Berry.

Where is the investigation into the Lawrence Torres matter? He went from negotiating for the police officers to negotiating against the police officers. He did so with a big fat (double) pay raise. Now that marty chavez is leaving he's being sent back to APD. How's that work exactly? Let's see a little journalistic investigation.....

I wonder how long it will take Dan from Capo's, Darren's buddy to get Chris Bakas promoted. We can see that coming. Also, word is that Darren is trying to save Nick Bakas' job as well. Dan from Capo's is best friends with the Bakas' and Darren. let's see what Darren does for them?????

Watch this quick shell game Mayor Berry, Darren is a real good politician.

Really what experience does Sheriff White really have? He was a singer in a band as an APD officer, he still sang in the band as an APD Sgt. He left to take over a Homeland Security spot for Gov Johnson. The State Police gave him a vote of NO confidence as their leader. He became a news reporter, then ran for sheriff. He has been sherrif for 7 years and Chief Lithicum runs our dept, not the Sheriff. Our morale is the lowest its ever been. He has not been around for the last two years as he's been running for office. So, I ask you, Does White really have any management experience in law enforcement. It sure does not appear so. He sure is good at BS though!

We need a real sheriff, not a politician! A cops cop.

Sherrif White has never been on the streets making arrests that every other cop has done. He's never even ran a squad as a Sgt, just the band! Muchless a watch or Command. He goes out when we make arrest, but comes after the fact for the camera.

Dan (Capo's) Moorning. Who the
F _ _ k is he? Since when does a resturant cook make decisions on who gets what at APD. He's just a wanna be, a nothing, gossip queen, who caters to the likes of the other news queens, Larry,
all-BARK-er and that POS Rod Green. They sit around Capos all day like SPY-ders waiting for a fly.
Dan's nothing more than Jack Ruby of APD. A little back ally troll.

Watch out for Darren. He is up to no good. How about a new chief that answers directly to the elected mayor.......with a political middle man like Darren to muck things up.

Anonymous said...

It is actions such as these that give us little faith in the Chief and his administration. More and more this has become the norm of this Chief, that's why no onw trusts him!

He and all his deputy chiefs need to be replaced! We have no confidence in them.

Anonymous said...

What's the deal with the Torres guy? Is the chief covering for this guy too?

MAYOR ELECT BERRY I VOTED FOR YOU IN CONFIDENCE THAT YOU WOULD HAVE LEADERSHIP CHANGES IN APD THAT ARE NEEDED. IF SCHULTZ IS ALLOWED TO STAY A YEAR JUST FOR RETIREMENT I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR YOU OR WHITE FOR ANY PUBLIC OFFICE. I AM IN MY EARLY 30S HAVE LOTS OF VOTING YEARS AHEAD. IF YOU ARE LOOKING A FUTURE IN POLITICS SCHULTZ WILL BE YOUR DOWN FALL. YOU NEED PROOF YOU WON THE MAYOR ELECTION DIDNT YOU. SCHULTZ WAS CHAVEZ DOWNFALL. WE NEED CHANGE. SCHULTZ ALREADY PROMOTED ALL HIS BUDDIES HE WILL KEEP HIS SYSTEM GOING AND NOW BERRY YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO CHANGE THINGS.
